Can't you just spread your wisdom in some other way rather than having that tint of.... i don't know condescending manner to express yourself? I tell you what, I'll stop being condescending if you'll stop complaining about the officiating. Deal? I made a one-off comment about how dumb it is to complain and everyone who was doing it immediately responded because...ready for this...they don't want to be told that the thing they're doing is dumb. I'm not sure why YOU didn't ignore ME if that's how you think this stuff is supposed to go. Edited December 5, 2018 by kipwinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pot? This is the kettle. You're black. You're complaining about people complaining. Except, where the people complaining were just doing hockey fan things and complaining about refs (hi, welcome to sports fandom), you're on a weird moral crusade to shame fans for doing fan things. And you're throwing in "subtle" political jabs which scream, "I'm smarter than most people and I wish you deplorables would get on my level, same with Americans who don't believe in science." All of which is fine. Just know that if complaining about refs on a hockey message board is lame, you're also being lame, arguably even double-lame. 4 Hockeymom1960, Y19, Yzerman19 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah... pointless i think. If you can't just understand that the whole thing is not about bitching about the refs, but is more about being in the game and getting carried away by our emotions and then expressing thelm as if we were all together at the arena... then i guess i'll let you troll this topic. Next time go after the fact that every fan base cheers when the team scores a goal.... it is really annoying isn't it? 2 F.Michael and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like, if you find yourself thinking there's a league wide bias against your favorite sports team you shouldn't complain. Because that's crazy and unsubstantiated.

Dude, people around LGW have been claiming a league wide conspiracy against the Wings for YEARS. Tons of fans, including some commenting tonight, actually believe Gary Bettman rigged the 2009 Cup because he wanted Crosby to win and the Wings to lose. If you think there isn't an asinine "conspiracy theorist" faction of Red Wings fans around here then I don't know what to tell you. And as I've said several times now, I'm commenting on that idiotic tendency collectively and not just based on this one game.

Hey Kip, I read the GDT as my play by play when I can't watch the games. Get the HELL out of here if you are going to use it to blast other members instead of comment on the game or be part of the FUN. We don't need a Hype Wrecker in the GDT. Take it to another thread or to PMS. You're probably the reason we didn't win tonight, dude. 1 kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
